Although sailing is a sport that requires certain skills, the sailing club has members with different levels.
Founded in 2004, the Sailing Club is one of the most attractive ones.
The Club organizes sailing days near Madrid and, for second time this year 2005, has planed a week-long cruise to the Balearics in the month of July for its members and students or alumni, whether experienced sailors or beginners.
The club has also participated in several competitions organised by other Business Schools, such as the Spring Fling, hosted by IESE in Barcelona or the MBAs Cup Regatta and Conference in Portofino Bay, Italy, in September, organized by SDA Bocconi.
The MBAs Cup Regatta gathered 15 MBAs teams from top European and American (US and Canada) leading Business School competing on a team and an individual basis. The event was not only for people with a passion for sailing, but for anybody wishing to share personal experiences, enjoy social events and participate at conferences with exclusive top leaders from the industrial, financial, academic and sport world focused on the topic "Winning the global race: the innovation challenge".
In the Regatta, eight members of the IE club sailed their Jeanneau Sun Fast 37 to second position overall!
